Xortinho de Menina formed in São Paulo in 2009, playing a mix of funk carioca, rap, and pop. Their 2010 track 'Chupa que é de uva' became a breakout hit, known for its explicit lyrics and references to female anatomy. The song sparked debate and led to censorship attempts, which only seemed to increase the band's notoriety.
Original members included MC Rea on lead vocals, Batoré and Mr. Catra as vocalists, and DJ Pinguim. Mr. Catra left in 2011, and the lineup has changed over time. Other songs like 'Amar você é tão bom,' 'Borboletas,' and 'Caçador' show the band's range beyond just provocative material.
They've released several albums and singles, including 'Te Peguei' in 2011, 'Vai, Malandra' in 2013, 'Toma Toma' in 2015, and 'Balança' in 2017. Their energetic performances and unapologetic approach to lyrics have drawn criticism from conservative groups and feminist organizations, who've accused the music of promoting sexism. The band has maintained their work is meant to empower and entertain.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
